How many times can a piece of normal-sized paper be folded in half?
Britney Gallivan broke the record by folding gold foil in half 12 times.http://pomonahistorical.org/12times.htm
If you fold a piece of paper in half 50 times how tall would it be?
You can't fold a piece of paper 50 times
What is the width of a piece of paper?
The answer depends on the piece of paper. You can cut it in half lengthways: it will still be a piece of paper but its width will be half as large!
If you fold a piece of paper in half 9 times how many sections would there be?
512
Is it possible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times?
nope ive tried it :( multiple times....Well, it depends on what you mean. Of course you can fold a piece of paper lots of times. What you can not do is fold a piece of paper in half lots of times.Your typical piece of paper is about 0.1mm thick. Each fold in half doubles the thickness, so by the time you have folded it 7 times it is 2^7*0.1 mm thick, that's 12.8mm, call it 1/2 an inch thick. And by then your piece of paper is rather small. If it started 8 1/2 x 11, it is now 11/8 x 17/8 inches, or about 1 1/2 inches by 2 inches. (ignoring the size of he folds)The next fold would make it 1 inch thick, and the outside of the fold would be a half circle 1/2 inch radius using pi/2 inches of paper, call it 1 1/2 inches. This isn't going to work.
